lou. the anticipation turning to anger the mood in the west bank is the palestinian bid for statehood at the u.n. may be on shaky ground amid speculation a deal's already been struck between the palestinian and u.s. leaders in the. archies speaks exclusively with mahmoud ahmadinejad about what's preventing palestinians from being recognized as an independent state and other global issues ahead of the controversial iranian leader's u.n. speech. and over the nasa satellite hurling towards the earth with a number of fragments expected to come crashing down but scientists still have no idea where.

the. eight pm in moscow i matter as a good to have you with us here on r t our top story president barack obama says he'll veto any u.n. resolution recognizing a free and independent palestinian state his comments came during a face to face meeting with the leader of the palestinian autonomy who nevertheless i would regret ahead with his country's bid on friday well israeli officials say they're concerned about possible violence on their borders artie's policy attended a rally in tel aviv where israelis are backing palestinian statehood gath. a group of israeli intellectuals professors writers and several members of parliament have gathered here in tel aviv to express support for the palestinian bid for statehood it's very symbolic where we're standing because we're right opposite the building with akon one nine hundred forty eight the united nations granted israel independence and so what the speaker pelosi said in the same way that israel was recognized by the united nations so truth should palestine now the essence of what

speakers have to say is talking about the double standards of the american placement iraq obama with various speakers say that he has shown his true colors fund the one hand calling for an independent palestine a fountain everything he can to try and stop all this and stop it from happening and go against american president being inspirational not only among palestinians but also among these left wing israelis at the same time rothschild boulevard which is where i'm standing was the scene for several months this year where protesters pitched a tense and defiant at the israeli government they were arguing that netanyahu needs to address internal social issues before he talks about international concerns now the latest news we have coming out of new york is that the palestinian president mahmoud abbas tomorrow friday will make his application for statehood but that the vote will be delayed and we've been told that this could be delayed for several months possibly until next june before they could be any kind of movement on the vote issue but out of them that here down in raw child street where for

several months earlier this year protesters gathered to lobby against an attorney who government the vibe here is very much in support of a palestinian state as it is indeed across the west bank and the whole of palestine eighty five high profile his ratings have signed a manifesto among them the heroes of this country for example the daughter of a former army general moshe dayan yelled a young giving her name amongst various other israelis and the situation essentially says that palestine should be established within one hundred sixty seven borders and that israel and palestine chicago exist alongside each other. british opposition labor m.p. jim fitzpatrick tells r.t. israel's approach. might lead to more violence in the region rather than stopping. the united nations has consistently supported a two state solution the british government and the present british government and the previous labor administration of which i was a member support to stage

a two state solution this seems to be a logical step along the road to the arts what nobody wants to see is any for the violence but if i was in the palestinian territories and i saw that there was a possibility of progress and then that was frustrated that would cause we create this pair and i could understand why that frustration could lead to poles being lost and the temperature being raised to nobody wants for the violence and i don't think israel's position is justified because they're saying it might provoke for the violence you have got violence in the middle east the palestinians have been suffering violence for far too long we want to see progress being made in the peace accords we want to see israel making concessions we want to see both sides saying no to violence or want to see president obama pushing versts along the world agenda at the united nations at the ellie's possible opportunity. i have anyone from the washington based think tank the independent institute says obama's support for

israel is very much turned out of votes he plans to get next year. in one thousand nine hundred eighty eight when it looked like harry truman was going to lose he he recognize israel eleven minutes after it provocatively disk declared its independence which the arabs didn't want and so he famously said well i have no arab constituents but i have a lot of people who are first zionism i'm paraphrasing there but and i think obama is in the same boat i think obama really is that his back is to the wall the economy's down and he needs every vote he can get it doesn't look good for him to get reelected right now so i think you'll see him tilt toward israel heavily here in this the rest of this year and next year before the election. on our website r.t. dot com we're asking you what will happen if the palestinian bid for statehood is vetoed by the u.s. so far most people taking part in the poll think the u.n.

will lose credibility if it blocks the move thirty five percent think the veto might spark a violent uprising in palestinian communities ten percent say it'll encourage peace talks to resume in about the same about think palestinians will be satisfied with an upgraded observer status at the world body. and cast your vote. meanwhile the united nations is gathering is moving ahead with more developments to come for the palestinian bid artie's marina portnoy had joins us live from new york with the latest hello marina so what have we heard so far and what's still to come . well it's been relatively quiet so far in terms of official statements regarding the palestinian bid for statehood many diplomats are working very vigorously behind the scenes to avoid diplomatic train wreck or avoid making the u.s. look bad in any way the plan that is put in place according to some sources according

to some reports is that palestinian president mahmoud abbas will address the general assembly on friday and then of viciously submit his paperwork to the u.n. secretary general asking for palestinian statehood that would go to the security council but there would not be a push for the needy if the security council with hold it and talk about it and eventually into a few minutes ago that those conversations could continue for a while that that option does not put the u.s. in a position where would have to veto any think immediately and help the palestine also then looks like it made the move this would avoid the palestinians going to the general assembly were does have the majority of support and it would when you know it's a missions for for becoming part of the united nations but it would be a non observer status so it would be as observer status nonmember observer status so that is what we are hearing right now everyone in terms of officials and heads

of state having made comments so far but speaking of the general assembly there are more speeches to calm throughout the day iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad will be addressing the international body as will the british prime minister david cameron earlier in the day dozens of countries got together for a global terror counter-terrorism forum this is the first type of gathering on such an international landscape where countries are coming together to identify the urgent needs to combat terrorism around the world russia the united states members of the european union and several other countries. i timed it and there was an attendance all spoke for four minutes russian foreign minister sergey lavrov said that ten years post nine eleven terrorists and still remains a significant international retracts in the global community must work together to combat a common enemy he said the world should pay particular attention to destabilize areas the middle east and north africa where some may be recruiting for plans of

terrorism us secretary of state hillary clinton also during her address to the thanked for our russian partners for sale proper his help in initiating this type of for about principles clinton it was during a conversation that was taking place about two years ago between her and mr lavrov where they came up with this idea so clearly a lot of discussion is taking place here as well as you know has of state and representatives from all over the world are meeting in new york but of course friday will be the day to see what develops in terms of the palestinians and it for u.n. membership all right argues marina talk of the story for us in new york thanks for that report. marina spoke with iranian president mahmoud ahmadinejad ahead of his speech and he accused the u.s. of abusing the pluralism of the us. this is the continuation of suppressing the rights of the palestinian people and the palestinian nation they are people like

coldly of the nations they must have the right to determine their own destiny they must have the right to choose their destiny on the other hand if the united nations is truly pluralistic in its makeup then why would they allow a country to see itself and speak of itself as the chief of the united nations eight pluralistic representative polity and also why can they dictate to the united states the true single member of a much larger body than it should have a single vote and why does that vote all that precious carry so much more weight. as the u.n. session continues in new york stay with us here on r.t. for all the latest developments from the u.s. and reaction from the middle east. to other news on our t.v. al-jazeera news network has a new boss at the helm following the resignation of its longtime head the change coincided with wiki leaks revelations suggesting that the now former director general have links with the cia and the news coverage was influenced by washington now of us and the viewers watch to wait and see what direction al-jazeera moves

a decommissioned nasa satellite is out of control and punching back toward earth but u.s. scientists have been led to guessing where and when it will land it could happen anywhere on the planet but that means for us peter off explains. most satellites that we collide with the earth's atmosphere would burn up there and then cause us no problems due to the size of the usa r.-s. this current satellite we're seeing coming about to enter the earth parts of it around twenty six parts it's believed will make it through the earth's atmosphere and collide with the earth now seventy percent of the planet is water so it's more than likely it will hit water and cause no problems whatsoever however some russian experts suggesting that the fuel that was used on board this satellite may be dangerous to humans. but experts call this type of satellites in orbit some truly believes you need a lot of energy to keep such a satellite an operational and americans have used radioactive plutonium for this

metal and other parts of the satellite will. turn you moment and it will end up on earth and it's a deadly danger to humans brinson and exposure to plutonium leads to cancer. well all quite worrying stuff there but it does lead us to another question just how much stuff have we sent up into space they could eventually come down there are now over twenty thousand sizeable objects being tracked in a small bit problem is the due to a process called the kessler effect that number is growing exponentially with us each collision shatters an object into smaller pieces and those pieces hit other objects if it keeps continuing at the same rate two hundred years from now we won't be able to get anything into an earth orbit as we just won't be any room just looking up at the sky from earth it can be hard to imagine the problems posed by space debris but when we look through powerful telescopes like this one the true

situation comes into focus the job of monitoring all of the debris in space is an important one not just for the future but for those currently in space on all the international space station over six hundred time. year the i.s.m.'s has to take a vsam action to get out of the way of temporary but if that isn't possible there's only one course of action left it would probably. take shelter in the most protected area of the ship the safest place is the capsule in the so use module so that's where the entire crew hides when the station is considered to be in danger the actual odds of fragments from you a.r.s coming down somewhere on the earth and send one in three thousand two hundred so very slim indeed and if you're extremely worried the odds of it actually hitting a person an individual a one in twenty trillion. million is up next with a business report stay with us here on r.t. .

thanks scott that's right time to tell to the world of business and it's been a terrible day for the russian markets with a sea of red across the board the selloff comes after the u.s. federal reserve gave a cream outlook for the world economy so jennifer called reports from the r.t.s. in central moscow there's been a really bad day on the market sounds even worse here emerging markets are at a fourteen month slow here in russia the ruble is at its worst against the dollar in two years the sell off is happening world by but russia is probably suffering the worst hand the right number of factors behind this first of the overall sentiment is really weak the eurozone but given the eurozone debt crisis and the prospect of another global recession and second on wednesday the federal reserve announced its latest stimulus measures is effectively a boon school but crucially it adds no extra money previously whether it had

printed money bike wants to feel think emerging markets were seen as a good bad because that's where the false the growth was but now even though these large falls are growing economists we are seeing small when growth rates just recently both iron man and world bank have lowered russia's g.d.p. for cars so although absolute growth rates are still here investors are responding to negative news by unbinding long positions. and as we've been reporting for us central bank has unveiled its latest stimulus package in order to further suppress long term interest rates the plans to switch four hundred billion dollars of short term loans into longer churches. what the federal reserve is trying to accomplish with that is to make it more attractive for businesses to invest number one and also for for consumers to invest in mortgages because you should remember the federal reserve did not do

a q e three they did not increase the size of its balance sheet but that shifted some of its investment from short term to long term assets which means that again the overall balance sheet was not changed which means that either she gratian will have to deteriorate further or globally i think we do expect from the federal reserve to actually start buying even more securities which in that sense to qualify as so they still has some firepower and i think that given where the global economy is going it should not be surprising if the federal reserve some later. a little bit later in the game actually goes to that the last thing that they can do . is have a look at the numbers now or less falling for a second day as a nurse to speculate that fuel demand in the u.s. will falter at lights which is trading at around eight dollars for barrel branches standing at one hundred five dollars stocks in the u.s. are sharply lower after the federal reserve into cases that the u.s. economic slump could last for years and of course they're in investors' ric
